Giraffe!

Early on in October I asked Marin what she wanted to be for Halloween.  She very adamantly said "a giraffe".  She stuck to it too.  Every time someone asked her what she wanted to be she was very matter of fact when she said "a giraffe".  I'll admit she picked a pretty cute costume.  She had a lot of fun, even though she looks serious in all these pictures!

 Asher was a great Curious George!

 Her first "trick or treat"

 Sweet Lily was such a cute 50's girl!

Moss Rock

We love getting outside and hiking around Moss Rock!  What a gift that this beautiful park is so close to our home.

Daddy's Birthday Weekend

For Mark's birthday we went to Chattanooga for a Bluegrass festival, which featured his favorite bluegrass band.  What better way for him to celebrate his birthday than bluegrass and beer?  We had a lot of fun, but the weather was quite a bit colder than we expected.  We also went to the aquarium, and we took the incline railway up to Lookout Mountain.  We also found this great farmer's market there that we will definitely go back to.

 Glow stick fun!

 A shark!

 Learned a new word... jellyfish!

 She pet the snake!  If you asked her what she did in Chattanooga

she will either say music or "I pet the snake"

 Riding the carousel at Coolidge Park

 Worn out!  She fell asleep right on top of me right in the middle of all the people and music at the festival.

 She didn't think she could move her head in the hood!

Having fun on the incline rail.. not scared at all!
